Inspiring True Stories

"Aunty Bik, we need more stories that teach our kids about ethics and values without preaching to them. And the books need to have lots of pictures," my nieces begged.

They kept nagging until I finally sat down and started writing.

Thank you to my nieces and the many others who have encouraged me, critiqued the stories, made suggestions and helped me to produce the Pickle Series.

I hope you enjoy the stories and that the lives of your children are inspired and changed through reading this series. Michelle

Why did we call it the Pickle Series?

Because God is with us no matter what sort of pickle we get ourselves into!

There is an easier way!

It is difficult to find time in today's fast-paced world to teach our children to be responsible citizens, to withstand peer pressure, to make wise decisions and to understand the power of God in their lives.

Use your bedtime routine to introduce children to Jesus

Children learn best through stories and the lessons and values remain with them all their lives. Values such as honesty, kindness, obedience, respect, generosity and more are taught through these engaging stories for children ages 4 to 10 years of age. Christian ethics such as prayer, trust in God and thankfulness are also included in this collection of true stories which can be read for worship, bedtime or any time at all really.

Transform their lives through stories


Your child's relationship to Jesus is important - don't leave it to chance. Use these stories to teach and build their faith. Each story is an important springboard to discuss the issues involved.

Children love the many colored illustrations included with each story throughout this series, which help to make the characters and events more relevant and understandable.


How long would your children sit still if you started preaching to them?

As parents we want to promote Christian values and teach our children to love and trust God. But preaching is not the answer.
